So, presumably it is dhitti (in OP).  Note that Dorsey actually has just
"edh"  + i + t + i, where edh is written cent-sign as usual.  This is
consistent with either version (dhitti or dhithi), though actually I
normally assume the latter in such cases.  Fletcher & LaFlesche's "t" is
also ambiguous.  I have not heard the word pronounced.
